The tire offers excellent all season traction. The special Tri-Net Silica compound and the asymmetric tread design work together to boost the dry, wet, and winter weather grip. This enables the tire to significantly enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The stronger compound elements maintain the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures. Circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, resulting in a secure driving experience. The maintained surface contact of the interlocking siping pattern enhances the controllability as well. In this manner, the tire closely follows the road surface at all times, boosting the steering responsiveness and driving stability. This ensures the tire's exceptional steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. It also effectively secures the structural stability against the driving pressure affecting the tire. As a result, the tire promotes a secure handling and maneuvering capability. The Continental CrossContact LX was manufactured with the Acoustic Alterra Technology. This technology uses the tread design to decrease the road and tread pattern noise created during the drive. In other words, it prevents airwaves from coming into contact with the tread elements and generating sound waves. This prevents road disturbances from reaching the vehicle's cabin and ruining the passengers; driving enjoyment. In other words, the tire promotes a quiet performance. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
